It is safe to say the students from all over the west would not con- tinue to join our ranks if we had not had a preeeptress Whose Wisdom and kindness has ever added to the social life of students both in the school and out.

New faces again greeted the Student Body at the beginning of the mid-year term. Miss Payne had left for the Orient, and her place was filled by Miss Wilkins and Miss Buckingham, both. instructors at Stan- ford. Miss Enid Kinney returned at this time from her years leave of absence, and Miss Twombley came from Stanford as assistant in Zoology and Physiology. Over in the Training School no change was made, save that Miss B. Shillingsburg, who had been ably filling her sisters place, during the latteris illness, resigned, and Miss Wunderlieh, 0f the San J ose School Department, took her place. In March the school lost two of the most well-known instructors in the Normal, when Professor Wood left for siX monthsi study and travel in the East, and Mrs. George, a few weeks later, set out on a long- planned and mueh-needed vacation trip to Switzerland. In the absence of Mrs. George, Miss Hinze has taken entire charge of the Geography Department. k EHarultg mpnia manqupt U . The men of the faculty under the leadership of President Dailey have from time to time entertained the young men students of the school in evening functions. One of the most successful of these was given recently at which a banquet was served in the South Society Hall.

This consisted of recitations by J ohn Faulds and Charles Flower. several guitar solos by Waldo Worden, and a quartette by R. Williams, F. Argall, L. Hawkinson, L- Albertson. Last of all Raymond Perry laid aside his coat, rolled up his sleeves, and waded into the piano. A11 encore was insistently called for, and when Mr. Perry finished there was many a whisper about the room suggest- ing that much was to be expected of this young manTs musical career. The banquet was prepared by faculty committees in regulation domestic science style. The whole affair was another illustration of the Normal spirit which goes so far to build happy associations and good fellowship among those who go out from here into the States schools.
